About Charis
Charis Parisis, born and raised in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Making graphs and drawing came naturally to him since early age. He embarked on his journey of discovering art and painting when 8 years old. He started different studies around the art of painting, drawing techniques, graphic design, illustration and followed several seminars on artistic design. At the age of 18, he began his studies at the Higher Education Technological Institute of Patras, graduating in 2009 as an Engineer specialized on Renovation and Restoration of buildings. In 2010, he started working for the Archaeological Institute in Thessaloniki as a graphic designer of the archaeological findings in the area.
At the end of 2011, he decided to follow a special field in the world of arts, the art of tattooing, which attracted his attention since he was a child and ultimately became his passion in life. His first professional experience in tattoo designing was in Athens, in the Dimond Tattoo studio. As of 2014, he moved to Germany and began to work as a guest artist in several tattoo studios, also in Switzerland. His style is more a mix of abstract graphic design and different drawing techniques but also open to more minimal patterns. His inspiration comes from his life experiences and from the experiences that people are sharing with him, giving him virtual images which he translates into graphic tattoo design. His art is driven from this perspective of viewing the world, through his own impressions of it and through the memories and impressions shared with him.
Since 2016 he has been based in Munich, the year 2020 started to run the Dreieck Tattoo Cooperation together with two other tattoo artists.
